For some reason, putting gun statistics in perspective doesn't work. 80-90 kids die a year from accidental shooting. There are also 3500 pool deaths a year, 20% are less than 14yo (700), and another 3500 kids are injured from drowning related injuries. "Yeah, but my pool isn't going to go out and kill someone," or "Yeah, but my pool wasn't designed to kill." All these statistics do, is expose the other side - are you really worried about some untrue epidemic? Or do you just want to ban all guns - because you cannot reasonably tell me that you want to spend money and effort on an area with a small impact, compared to other types of death. The same logic is applied to AR-15s in mass shootings, vs figuring out how to stem gang violence in the inner cities.
